Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[WJhen the lowest permissible sentence under the criminal punishment code exceeds the' statutory maximum, the former becomes the maximum sentence a court can impose. See Butler v. State, 838 So.2d 554, 556 (Fla.2003). “Trial courts are not permitted to impose illegal sentences, even pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement.” Costin v. State, 46 So.3d 96, 97 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010). Because Perkins’ scoresheet was incorrectly scored and he was not sentenced to the lowest permissible sentence, his sentence is illegal.”
